Frequently
Asked Questions
What should we do if we have more recyclables than can fit
in the cart?
Extra recyclables should be kept for your next scheduled
pickup. Should you regularly have more material than your
cart’s capacity, please contact All Green Recycling to arrange
for an additional cart.
Waste Collection and Recycling
How does the “one cart-no sort” program work?
Households will receive one 95 gallon blue recycling cart
in which all approved household recyclables can be placed.
These carts provide lots of capacity and an easy closing lid
to prevent windblown litter. No more sorting the recyclables
into separate bins or bags. See the list of approved items in the
“Allowable Materials” section that can be placed in the cart.

still put out my cart?
AUTOMATED COLLECTION: All Green Recycling collects on all statutory holidays except
Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Please check your
collection calendar for your scheduled pick up days including
holidays.

Recycling:
Do we need to bag the recyclables before placing them in
the cart?
No, we specifically ask that customers DO NOT BAG or TIE
their recyclables before depositing them into their cart. Bagged
or tied materials may be left curbside due to the additional
expense that de-bagging requires. The exception is plastic
grocery bags and clean plastic film. Place these items inside
another bag and secure.
Common uses: soft drink bottles, cooking oil bottles,
peanut butter jars. This is the most widely recycled
grade of plastic. Remember to please rinse and
remove all caps.
